apopoi's manga / #Romance(252)

This is a dumpster fire. The plot is all over the place, the characters don't make sense and the translation is shit. I don't understand anything, it feels like the MC is oppressed by her incompetent parents yet seems to be the one running the duchy behind the scenes (or maybe they are a marquis household). It's confusing. Anyway the sister isn't as annoying as I thought she would be based on first impressions. The ML is not as influential as the mahwa makes him seem or maybe the author sucks ass at writing a coherent plot.

This was wholesome as hell. I like that the MC has gotten closer with her brother, he truly cares for her. The MVP is of course the slime. He is adorable, strong, kind and gentle. I have one question, does he not know that he is the Duke? Maybe he lost his memories. In the latest chapter, we finally see the Duke so I'm ecstatic to see how this will play out. Also I like that the evil maid's daughter Bella is actually a good person. Yay to that! The Duke is a stupid antagonist. He is so dumb.

A very typical story it seems. But I like the reason stated in the comments on why the ML didn't love the owner of the fl's body: he just didn't like her. It wasn't miscommunication or misunderstanding. He just didn't have any feelings towards her as far as anything is concerned. Sometimes things are that simple, not everything need some grand reason. Also there is something concerning the ml and his father? I really don't feel like reading this rn..I'm having a burnout from reading typical cliche stories. I might as well just read TCF but I'm planning on binging it and also, I'm currently having the CBSE board exam so it would be bad if I got too invested. Update (6/9/23) : I like this much more than I expected. The fl was a bit more childish than I expected but she is a decent MC nonetheless. Rudrick as a child was sweetness overload, especially him with long hair he looked as pretty as a girl (enough to be the MC's secretary first love). And when it was later revealed that he grew his hair out because his mom would comb his hair for him? Gah! I died. The second ML is so sweet and charming, he is so adorable. I also like that Rudrick didn't change too much though he was certainly traumatized. When he asked for Dahlia in that room and forgot about that handkerchief, I thought the story would go in a completely different direction. Thankfully it didn't. His father is a douchebag, he knew that his wife didn't poison his mistress but slapped her in front of all the servants and punished her to set an example for an 'insider' (he revealed all this to Rudrick). Also I have an issue with how Dahlia's family can be so cold to the plight faced by Rudrick's family. Considering how his family has so many problems, seeing Dahlia's family be so happy should've been so difficult. Her mother being his mom's bestie is so..how to word this? inconsiderate? naive? Like she should have helped her out, maybe she was so caught up in her little family bubble that she couldn't see how her bff was suffering. The way she looked so shocked and cried seeing the state she was in made me mad. I have one more question, at what age did Dahlia die in her past life? She seem to have unrealistic expectation of love. I assume she has never dated?

I like that the MC is level headed and fairly reasonable, I hope that will continue throughout the manhwa and that trait of her won't change. Her real life problems are much more severe than the novel she is in so I understand where she is coming from. However her lack of tact made it almost unbearable for me to continue this manhwa even though I personally don't blame her. The four heavenly kings are based on 'Boys over Flowers' for sure, even Hwiyoung's face and personality screams Junpyo. Her knowing the tropes and cliches inside out was very hilarious and her being dumbfounded left and right by the impossibility of everything in the novel was refreshing. Some of which I won't question but because she is a renowned author and even received an award for literature, she is able to see the plotholes that I can't see. Her little brother is such a simp and the resemblance to her deceased lil bro is uncanny. What else? Her best friend is a bit much, I get where she's coming from but the ml is just your boyfriend's friend so why be angry at your bestie for it? All in all, I enjoyed it. Her best friend irl sucks, of course she would think it's her since she was the only one she told but she suffered all that bullying because she defended you and stood up for you, you bitch. She ended up miserable while the Ah-han is successful in life so whatever. I think I know who the ml irl will be, the man that saw her crying has to be it. I think he is also the person that bully liked in middle school.

It was a bit hard to immerse myself into the story because of the art style. It's very good, don't get me wrong but it felt static and not connected. But since it has 14 chapters as of rn (13/9/23), I got used to it. It feels a bit childish to me but their love for eo is really pure. The ML is more complex than I originally thought, his family situation for eg "My father doesn't love me but at least he gives me money" He added that his parents never got married but it was because of a situation without elaborating further. I like how obvious it is to the readers that he likes the MC but the MC is oblivious to it since he believes him to be 1) straight, 2) a coincidence that they are always together and 3) his crush of many years could like him back. The ML also always pays for everything, but the MC never accepts it which slights the ML. In the past, they used to be closer than they are now but because they kissed while being drunk (for MC, the ML only drank a bit) things got more awkward than it already was. The MC thinks it's a dream and starts avoiding him since he didn't want him to find out and be disgusted so he needed some time. The ML also enlisted when he heard that the MC would enlist, that's true love baby. Also I love Minju, just set him up with your pretty friend already MC. He's American so he doesn't need to enlist, he was very hurt over this cuz the MC didn't know about him being American. He considers MC to be his bestie but I wonder about the MC. Currently it looks like the ML is the only thing on his mind and vice versa. Him and the ML is supposedly the two most handsome guys in their campus, said by Minju and some others. ML is the manly classic type while MC is more of a pretty boy. The MC doesn't consider himself to be good looking, and is dense about it. When he came back to college, the girls stared at him and initiated a conversation with him cuz they found him pretty. But when he first stepped into the room, when he felt eyes on him, he was confused and felt weird. Update (21/02/25): So I don't know if this is finished or not but there are 49 chapters and three side stories atm. I do think ML could take a chill pill but he's actually perfect for the MC imo. The MC is willing to do anything for him since he loves him so much and finds his antics cute. I think he likes the attention and tries to soothe him with his separation anxiety and what not. For me it would be torture but I understand where he's coming from. I don't know if the ML is red flag, judging from the comments...I thought he would be way worse. 40 missed calls and him going out during his work hours is too much tho. I kinda hate how compromising MC is for ML ngl, I thought him and Minsu were best mates. It's like he doesn't care for anyone except ML. I would hate to have a friend like him who would cut me off just because of their bf.

The translation is a bit wonky but the story is fresh to say the least. The MC is very pretty and the dragon and him have history, essentially the MC was the one who planted the seed of this whole situation. Starting with him telling the story of the evil dragon kidnapping the princess for ransom, to him suggesting that he do it 10 years later since the princess was still a child then. The priest is gay and someone with the looks that surpasses gender so the knight that came to rescue him also falls for him (after the priest clasp his hand and suggested they run away together). Which ultimately didn't happen since the dragon is like "He's mine". I have seen the dragon blush once and that was when the MC crawled on his back and touched him, the dragon also had an inner monologue "I'm a dragon so even if I were to mate, it would be with another dragon". So we can see that he is being affected by our MC's advances.

This is very sub par. The MC was a slave who was saved and given a name 'Yona' by the second prince to a kingdom (the name of it I've forgotten). You know Asians and their obsession with fair skin, one Indian said it best "Being fair is so imp that you could have a missing eye but as long as your complexion matches the whites in your eyes, it's all good. But if you are in the tanner side, you have to be perfect..like having symmetrical face, luscious lips, cheekbones etc." It is made known to us multiple times in the manga that Yona is very beautiful, and that is because he's fair as fuck. The big question is : Is he Ed Sheeran level of white? cuz that shit crazyyy.. Anyway it's mentioned that he was named Yona cuz he reminded Al of white doves with his white hair and skin, serene eyes etc. The plot is plotting.. I guess. Like it's very standard trashy shoujo-yaoi that's reliant on tropes to make it be a story. The only good thing about the MC is his appearance. Like this guy dumb as fuck.. I guess men like their partners stupid regardless of gender. Anyways he mad gullible.. Believing that snake advisor when he said that he would send an army to Al if he slept with him. Like how you gonna trust that shady motherfucker? Also him being dragged by some maids then being dressed in that cloth that only covered his genitals (yess I said it) then randomly dancing since it would be awkward if he just stood there in front of everyone (I mean..to be fair it was a dancer get up, is there a fetish about dancers in the olden days?Was it considered exotic? Because this isn't the first time I've come across this trope and it's usually done in the scene when the dancer wants to attracts/seduce the ML) . This is obviously a dumb set up so there could finally be some action ᕦ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) between the two leads. Like some girl gave him aphrodisiac for no reason (they didn't even bother to give an explanation like they be like 'here a scene of Al getting Yona off by rubbing his dick a couple times'). They are engaged technically according to the seme's tradition since Al gave Yona his name then Yona gave something that's of importance to him.. without Yona knowing (that they're engaged since seme didn't think to disclose this info, then he has the nerve to be disappointed, HOW HE SUPPOSED TO KNOW? U DIDN'T TELL HIM MF) . It's giving Ross not telling Rachel that they're still married. I have a lot of opinions about their very unbalanced dynamic, like that boy a prince and u his slave.. I know he says he didn't wanna be just his prince and he his attendee yada yada. But the power level is insane.. Like his name alone.. Do u know the power a name holds? Like they say if you know the devil's name, you hold control over him(or her or them, whatever they identify as) . The same can be said.. His existence is like to serve him. He said so himself and seems to embrace it. Like noooo.. Even if the prince said some corny ass line about them being equals, ya really think that's gonna change shit? Hell nah!! Also the king high key hotter than Al, not gonna lie Al looks goofy as hell with this static face. Like it doesn't move..his face I mean. Also how hard is it to dismiss an adviser, I get needing evidence since he is of high position and has connections but he dumb as fuck. That don't add up. I know the king said it took having a very beautiful person to act as bait to catch him slipping.. But I don't know. That just seem so half-assed and is supposed to magically solve everything? What else? Oh.. The MC is from a tribe but no detail is given about it. Maybe the tribe is full of white people (Ed? You there?) It never got to that point since it don't need to apparently. It was mentioned in the last chapter the morning after Al fucks Yona's back off. The thing he's been searching for all this time was actually...dun dun dun dun Yona's tribe! Well.. I totally didn't see that coming(O_O). Also this rock faced ML is a manwhore.. Three girls at once? What is that.. Is it a sandwich? No that's three people him included, so an orgy but that don't make no goddamn sense. Also the smut scenes were not it..I'm sorry. The fact that it's black and white, their dick light sabers and the expression or lack thereof except blushing with their hand on their mouth. It's mid. Anyway yeah that's it for now.

Oh man.. This legitimately scared me when I read it. Like the MC being so jealous of her twin brother to the strange air around them when they made eye contact. The twin brother seemed like the golden child to me so I just took it as jealousy from the MC over the partial treatment from their dad. Then when she made some kind of deal with the devil, the twin brother turned into some creature so I assumed that it was her fault but apparently not. We see the flashback of the nanny who looked after them as babies, it was revealed to us that there was something wrong about the twin brother. Like he would just stare at the MC without making a fuss (like babies tend to do?). One incident that scared the maid was when she was consoling the crying baby MC then her sucking her thumb, then the twin brother following suit sucking his thumb right after. Man that scene creeped me out. Also it seems to be a hereditary thing amongst the MC and her family since her mom was the first one to make a contract with the devil. Like she brought these weird statues of demons or coffins when she got married with their father (when she left her castle to move to her husband's castle). The twin brother is a demon from birth it seems.

Polygamy is an interesting concept to me. I can get very possessive so it's not for me but the idea is entertaining. Kou and Ginga were the most enticing pair to me, I always look forward to their interactions. Both of them are madly in love with Yuu that's for sure but something about trauma bonding sticks with me. I don't want to summarize the plot, just what I feel about it overall. I do love wacko seme madly in love, like I dig that shit so no wonder I like this. I was pleasantly surprised when Yuu still remained the top outside the bedroom of course since they fucked. His mom regretting how she kicked him out of the curb once it was revealed that he was an omega was something I didn't see coming. I love that they added people's perspective on omegas, like Yuu was once hailed as the top G, admired by people for his good looks, background, and his grades. But when they found out that he was an omega, their perception of him shifted. Now they say "He's smart for an omega" "He fucked his way into this academy" Etc. The scene where Kou and Ginga admitted that they fucked everyone he did as that was the closest they could come to being intimate with him made my stomach drop. Also it was very creepy at first but the extras made me feel for them, especially Ginga. Kissing amidst their tears, fucking on the same bed Yuu fucked his girlfriends etc. The look of terror of Ginga's face when Yuu told him he smelled like Kou made me feel for him. The brotherly obsession was something I didn't feel like needed to be there, but it doesn't ruin the experience for me so I don't really care. Is this how polygamy relationships are like? Is this a bad representation? I have to do my research on that.

No!! Because I was totally engrossed reading this. The sexual tension was through the roof.. Hyuck is such a baby girl. First chapter and it's already been established that the gf is a bit of a bitch, which is cheap but I like it cuz now I don't feel bad about the potential romance between him and the doctor. I liked his blunt friend, how he is loved by his pals and sunbaes, overall he is a likeable character. The doctor on the other hand is so manipulative and a fuckboy, he gives off a gentle and mature aura as well so we now how he got bitches. I stopped reading because it just felt so wrong, like we know that the doctor is interested in him so he's playing him like a violin. Hyuck confides in him and he instead of helping him reconcile with his gf, he advises him to distance himself and shit. It doesn't make him look good cuz why is a damn adult with a job all up in children's business? Also that scene when they were playing pool and the doctor got his bitch with him got on my nerves cuz my innocent boo boo got ignored. That made me drop this series, I'm not gonna lie. This man with all his experience is playing my innocent puppy. Every scene with the two of them, we clearly see who wears the pants and it don't feel good. Like the power dynamic is so fucked up so it feels iffy at times.
